Technical PTFE Filter Selection Considerations

When evaluating alternatives to Emflon® filters, the selection should not be based on brand name alone. Important technical factors include membrane material, micron rating, cartridge or capsule format, end fitting configuration, seal material, operating temperature, differential pressure limits, sterilization requirements and integrity testing requirements.

Filtra International supplies hydrophobic PTFE membrane filter cartridges with available micron ratings including 0.2 µm, 0.45 µm, 0.65 µm and 1.0 µm, with multiple cartridge lengths and end fitting configurations available. PTFE capsule and SIP-compatible PTFE capsule options are also available for applications requiring compact or steam-in-place capable filtration solutions.

Send us the existing filter reference, application details or operating conditions and our filtration specialists can help evaluate a suitable PTFE membrane filtration solution.

Selecting an Alternative to Emflon® Filters


When evaluating filtration solutions, several factors should be reviewed:

  • Membrane material
  • Micron rating
  • Hydrophobic performance
  • Operating temperature
  • Differential pressure limits
  • Sterilization requirements
  • Regulatory requirements
  • Installation compatibility


Application requirements should always be reviewed before selecting a filtration solution.
